Growing a Successful Brand Through Unconventional Creativity: Exploring the Unique and Timeless Sound of Audio Fiction Podcasting with Marcus of El Extraordinario
Margo is joined by co-founder and creative director of El Extraordinario, Marcus Hurst. El Extraordinario is an award winning creative outfit specialized in audio fiction and podcasts making timeless long form content with high production values and a strong emphasis on sound design. Looking more to music record labels like XL Recordings as inspiration for creating podcasts rather than traditional podcasting, El Extraordinario is anything but traditional.
Marcus shares his experiences in the world of blogging, journalism, and now podcasting, and how he's found success in being adaptable, assembling a solid team, brand partnerships, how he manages social media personally and professionally and much more.
